// This is a OS-independent* module which purpose is tracking allocations and
// their call sites (stack traces). It is able to deal with hole punching
// (read: munmap). Also, it has low overhead and its presence in the system its
// barely noticeable, even if tracing *all* the processes.
// This module does NOT know how to deal with stack unwinding. The caller must
// do that and pass the addresses of the unwound stack.
// * (Modulo three lines for mutexes.)
//
// Exposed API:
//   void heap_profiler_init(HeapStats*);
//   void heap_profiler_alloc(addr, size, stack_frames, depth, flags);
//   void heap_profiler_free(addr, size);  (size == 0 means free entire region).
//
// The profiling information is tracked into two data structures:
// 1) A RB-Tree of non-overlapping VM regions (allocs) sorted by their start
//    addr. Each entry tracks the start-end addresses and points to the stack
//    trace which created that allocation (see below).
// 2) A (hash) table of stack traces. In general the #allocations >> #call sites
//    which create those allocations. In order to avoid duplicating the latter,
//    they are stored distinctly in this hash table and used by reference.
